“While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue
Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back.
Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to history. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by conquering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well.
In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”
这本书的中文版翻译成了 "绝对自控", 导致了有很多差评, 因为这本书和自控力, 意志力没有任何关系. 如果读者是冲着这个来的, 自然大失所望. 本书主要谈的是 Ego, 但先要给 Ego 限定一个范围. 这本书谈论的不是弗洛伊德的那个 Ego, 而是让人盲目自大, 盲目自信, 自以为重要的那...
評分豆瓣上还咩有出现评分,但我估计本书大约是7分左右,书中没有出现太多的让人眼前一亮的金句,本质上仍然是一本鸡汤读物。 并且我感觉,在翻译的过程中,还是很容易出现误解的。 以下是我的思考,不知道是否会有误读。 在作者看来他无时不刻不强调“不要自我”。这这里,我感觉...
評分1 Do not trust people who tried to comfort you, or try to teach you something. They must have a much worse life than you, or where did they get all these words. Don't believe those stories about struggle for greatness, disowned by parents, bankcrupcy, slee...
評分實話說,我一點沒看懂,也搞不清楚目標讀者是什麼人
评分“See much, study much, suffer much, that is the path to wisdom.”
评分非常有代入感,從第一頁就開始打嘴巴。書讀到最後一頁巴掌也打到最後一頁。
评分其實我覺得不用 enemy 這種隱喻來看待 ego 會不會更好一點?書中的很多例子還是很有啓發的
评分一般
